Are charts broken?
Nowadays streaming allows this as you don't have limitations by what radio/tv is spinning or by CDs no longer being printed/sold. It's a matter of facts. So there should be a general chart and one with restrictions to music released over a certain amount of times (24 months?)

Hilary Duff - "Mature"
This song has so much potential. It has the type of sound that can cross a broad variety of musical tastes. It's pop, but not too much. It has some pop-rock vibes. An earworm, but not too blatant. Perfect catchy mix with well built lyrics able to turn an overused theme into something interesting.

Taylor Swift has six songs with 2 billion+ streams. Which one is your favorite?
BS, CS and AH fighting for the signature song status so hard! Lover unexpectingly sneaking in and burying SIO in a ditch. Cardigan making the list as it should and winning the artistry spot. And we also have some intruders, RIGHT IDWLF? TFOO, August, Style, ATW will all join them soon hopefully.

Matías Roden | New single "Please (Devours Remix)" out now!
One year later and this track still feels fresh as day one. It's still on my most played nowadays The remix is surely interesting but the original stay unbothered imo. But whatever helps the track to surge and shine will be welcomed. However you should have him working on some tracks for the new project. I hear potential!

Ed Sheeran leaves Warner after 15 years
Finally understood he won't have a second wind as strong as the first one. Perhaps he'll stop chasing hits and actually develop masterpieces again.

What's the point of not adding standalone singles to an album?
artistic integrity: if they sonically don't fit the album, why force them in if not to capitalize on it and inflate album's numbers?

Surviving Taylor Swift: a collection of all the songs she's ripped off.
Lana's one seems the only one I don't recognize any similarities. The rest, well there are some links but to me its not enough to imply she copypasted. And even if in another universe it was the case...well, if anything, she improved all of those (sans maybe Lana's Without You which is on par with Wildest Dreams)

If Britney Spears (No Seas Cortes) released Golden, would it still smash?
Honestly this is the type of song that would smash no matter who sings. But lyrics do suit britney. Surely the vocal out come would never be the same.

More global classics: Taylor Swift or Lady Gaga?
While both definitely are global, they reached this status in complete different ways, hence it is very difficult to state imo. Gaga exploded back then - infact almost all of her biggest classics belongs to this era- and somehow managed to survive the overexposure backlash she faced around 2013-2016, rebranding herself and adding some classics to her discography such as Shallow, Bloody Mary and to a less extent ARUTW and ROM (also Abra is shaping up pretty well). Taylor slowly grew steadily through the years. Her hits became classics across the world with time despite the great success they had even back then, as she was able to manage her visibility pretty well avoiding overexposure - despite risking it during 1989 era - until nowadays, for obvious reasons: its not a casa Ophelia is shaping up to be her biggest hit, while Cruel Summer also had a resurgence fully based on it being considered a classic already from fans. Gaga had more "istant classics", while Taylor is building them up through time (sans Ophelia)

Will Mariah ever get another hit? Or will AIWFCIY be her last hit ever?
When Migrate will smash on tiktok and she gets her 20th #1 hit, ending up collecting the cherry on top of the cake her already achieved records are.
